Russian Adventures: Kamchatka Volcanoes & Siberia

Kamchatka Volcanoes Adventure
United Federation of Russia

Kamchatka is one of the most remote places in Russia, a large peninsula bounded by the Pacific and its seas. It is known to be one of the places in the country that is almost left untouched. It's virgin mountains and  forests with unique and exotic plants found nowhere else in the world are full of wild birds and animals. For almost a century this wilderness was closed for the foreign visitors as well as many other places in Siberia and Pacific. This wild mountainous land, lying on the 'Pacific Rim of Fire', is a highly unstable geological area prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, stretching from Alaska in the east across the Aleutians to Kamchatka and southwards to Japan. These comments were made by Robert Perkins, the American ecologist when he visited Kamchatka in 1990. He was possibly the first Westerner to have visited Kamchatka in 40 years. It is a remote region of Russia being 9 time zones from Moscow. The area was shrouded in secrecy it being the home of the Soviet Pacific fleet. Our trip passes through the wilderness areas of the volcanoes and hot springs in two areas, one to the south and the other to the west of Kamchatka's main town and port Petropavlovsk. Access to the second part of the trek is easier with shorter traveling time involved.

Siberia Adventure
Trans Siberia & Trans Baikal
United Federation of Russia

See more than just classical Transsiberian route! This itinerary includes the ride along BAM – Baikal-Amur railroad line - which brings us to the North of Baikal Lake, rarely visited by tourists and therefore its nature stayed unexplored and is very picturesque. It will take us about 10 hours to cross Baikal lake from its Northern shore to the Southern one by Hydrofoil and will enable us to see how beautiful and huge this lake is. This trip gives an excellent opportunity to get the feeling what a big country Russia is, to see geographical zones changing from the steppe to taiga - deep Siberian forest, to visit big cities and small villages. We will go through the territories populated by Russians, Tatars, Kazakhs, Buryats. The religions vary from Russian Orthodox, Buddhism, Islam to Shamanism as well as cultures and traditions.Another focus is the legendary Trans-Siberian railroad. We will learn more about its history from the museums in Novosibirsk and Severobaikalsk and get the insider’s impressions being a passenger on a modern train going along the road connecting the West and East of the largest country in the world.
